Algeciras (Cádiz), (EFE).- Salvamento Marítimo has rescued this Sunday ten immigrants of North African origin who were traveling in two inflatable toy boats through the Strait towards the Cadiz coast.
Sources from the device have reported that at 11:20 a.m. the notice was received from one of the two boats warning that both were sailing through the Strait, for which reason the Salvamar Acturus was mobilized to assist them.
Two ships navigating in the area specified the position of the boats after sighting them during their voyage.
The Salvamar Arcturus reached its position at 12:40 p.m. and proceeded to assist its ten crew members, five in each of the small boats, all of them adult men of North African origin.

The ten immigrants have been transferred to the port of Algeciras where the socio-health care device has been set up.
For its part, Maritime Rescue on Friday rescued a boat with ten sub-Saharan immigrants on board, which had serious buoyancy problems due to the entry of water into the boat.
As reported to EFE this Friday by police sources, the rescue occurred when the boat, one of those usually used as beach games, was sailing some 12.3 kilometers from the coast.
Ten immigrants were traveling on the boat, located by the Salvamar Arcturus, all of them young people from various Sub-Saharan African countries, who were transferred to Algeciras and were in an apparent good state of health.
At the time of the rescue, the water had begun to enter the raft due to the waves as well as the excessive presence on board it. EFE
